Bundle of Holding – Over the Edge

This week’s Bundle of Holding is Jonathan Tweet and Robin D Laws’s seminal Over the Edge RPG, a surreal game of secrets and conspiracies, set on the fictitious Mediterranean island of Al Amarja. Over the Edge holds a special place in RPG history having departed from the model of predefined character attributes and skills, in favour of open-ended player-chosen traits. And it was among the first to employ a dice pool based resolution mechanic.
